본 연구의 목적은 랫드 간세포 일차배양에서 카드뮴에 의해 유발된 세포독성 및 지질과산화에 대한 셀레늄의 항산화 및 간보호 효과를 조사하기 위함이다. 이를 위해 2개의 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 1에서는, 1, 10, 50, 100 및 $50\;{\mu}M$의 다양한 농도의 카드뮴으로 6시간 동안 간세포를 일차 배양하였다. 간세포 생존율과 지질과산화는 각각 MTT 방법과 TBARS 방법으로 측정하였다. 항산화 효과와 간보호 효과는 각각 GOT와 GSH-Px 활성을 측정함으로써 결정하였다. 카드뮴은 농도 의존적으로 세포 생존율을 감소시켰으며 지질과산화는 증가시켰다. 세포 생존율과 지질과산화 간에 유의적인 음의 상관관계(r=-0.943, p<0.01)가 관찰되었다. 카드뮴은 $50\;{\mu}M$ 농도에서 GOT의 활성을 증가시켰으나 GSH-Px의 활성은 감소시켰다. 실험 2에서는 셀레늄이 카드뮴에 의해 유발된 독성 및 지질과산화에 대한 효과를 연구하기 위해 $100\;{\mu}M$의 카드뮴과 0.01, 0.1 및 1 ppm의 다양한 농도의 셀레늄으로 6시간 동안 간세포 일차 배양하였다. 세포 생존율과 GSH-Px의 활성은 1 ppm의 셀레늄에 의해 증가되었다. 반면에, 지질과산화와 GOT의 활성은 0.1 ppm의 셀레늄에 의해 감소되었다. 이러한 연구 결과는 셀레늄이 카드뮴에 대한 항산화 및 보호 효과를 나타내 보이고 있다.

In this study, we investigated about cell toxicity and oxidative stress of HepG2 cell by treatment of sodium fluoride (NaF) and fluoride extracts from krill Euphausia superba meat, shell, whole body and krill meal. The cell toxicity showed significant at 300 and $500{\mu}g/mL$ NaF treatment group. But krill (Euphausia superba) fluoride extract (KFE) treatment in all groups were not toxic. The superoxide radical production increased significantly in NaF treated group, but there was no significant change in KFE treated group. The superoxide dismutase activity was a significant increase 21.5% at $100{\mu}g/mL$ and 24.7% at $300{\mu}g/mL$ treatment group of fluoride extracts from krill meat, and 8.7% at $300{\mu}g/mL$ in krill meals, compared to the control group. However, hydroxy radical flux and catalase and glutathione peroxidase activity of fluoride extracts from krill meat did not change. As a result, for a short period of time, NaF treatment in HepG2 cells affect the cell toxicity and oxidative stress, but in the case of KFE, these were not recognized. Thus, depending on the type of food ingested with fluoride, cell toxicity and oxidative stress was found to be different.

에틸포메이트(Ethyl formate)는 자연상에서 발생되는 천연살충제로서 훈증방식으로 검역단계에서 해외로부터 유입되는 해충의 방제를 위하여 사용되고 있다. 특히, 메틸브로마이드의 대체제로서 주로 사용되며 인축에 독성이 약하고 식물에 대한 약해가 적다. 이러한 에틸포메이트를 농업해충방제를 훈증제로 사용하기 전에 유용생물체에 대한 독성과 수박, 애호박, 참외에 대한 식물독성 및 발생한 식물독성의 저감화 방안을 강구하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 에틸포메이트 2시간 훈증처리 후 지렁이, 꿀벌, 누에에 대한 LC₅₀ 값은 각각 39.9, 7.09, 17.9 g m^-3였다. EF에 대한 감수성 정도는 LC₅₀ 값 기준 지렁이, 누에, 꿀벌 순으로 낮게 나타났으며 에틸포메이트 훈증처리는 꿀벌에 대하여 강한 독성을 유발하였다. 식물독성은 7.5 g m^-3 농도로 처리된 수박 잎에서 관찰되었으며 10.0 g m^-3 농도로 처리 시 수박 잎의 가장자리는 까맣게 타들어 가는 산에 의한 약해가 발생함을 확인하였다. 다른 박과 식물인 애호박 및 참외에는 10 g m^-3 농도처리 시 잎에 강한 약해를 보였고 이를 저감하기 위하여 사용된 sodium silicate는 10% 및 20% 처리 시 약해의 저감을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같이 에틸포메이트 훈증처리 시 비표적생물에 대한 급성독성연구와 대상작물의 약해발생을 저감하는 연구는 에틸포메이트의 효율적인 농업해충 방제를 위한 중요한 결과를 도출했다.

Sodium arsenate and Yeonlyeonggobon-dan (nianlinggubendan) extract, a herbal restorative were treated p.o. 20mg/kg and 500mg/kg respectively and concurrently to rats, and examined the variation of the body weight and the accumulation of arsenic in organs. Yeonlyeonggobon-dan (nianlinggubendan) extract(YGD) resulted in the increase of body weight, and the increase ratio of body weight in arsenic-treated group was dropped but the group of concurrent administration with YGD showed significant recovery. The ratio of liver weight / body weight of arsenic-treated group increased but the group of concurrent administration with YGD showed significant decrease. The accumulation of arsenic in liver and kidney of arsenic-treated group increased but the group of concurrent administration with YGD showed significant decrease.

Various materials including sodium alginate, k-carrageenan, collagen and polyacrylamide were studied in order to maintain the stability of bioluminescence of Photobacterium for the monitoring of volatile toxic substances. Kinetic parameters of specific rate($\mu$), and gamma(${\gamma}$) value were determined for the relationship between bioluminescence of immobilized P. phosphoreum and toxic substances. The bioluminescence intensity was found to be proportional to the concentration of toxic substances and the free cells were shown to be more sensitive than immobilized cells when volatile substances were exposed to the cells. Bioluminescence increased slightly after several minutes, which was due to the volatility of toxic compounds. Furthermore, P. phosphoreum immobilized on strontium alginate was better than cells immobilized on sodium alginate for the response to substances used.

Male ICR mice were given consecutively 7 injections for 7 days of : (I) sodium selenite 1 mg/kg s.c. alone, (2) methylmercuric chloride 10mg/kg s.c. alone, (3) methylmercuric chloride simultaneously in combination with sodium selenite, and (4) saline alone as control respectively. Based on the above protocol, we monitored various oxyradical scavenging system as well as the finding of electron microscopy. The results from brain tissues were as follows` 1. Selenium inhibited the rate of generation of superoxide radical.

Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional problem worldwide. Oral iron supplementation programs have failed because of noncompliance and gastrointestinal toxicity. The purpose of this study was to explore the possibility of alginate gel bead as an oral controlled release system of iron supplements and increase the stability of iron succinyl casein (ISC). Alginate beads containing ISC were prepared by the gelation of sodium alginate with calcium cations. The release profiles of ISC were investigated according to the concentration of polymer, the drug/sodium alginate ratio, the concentration and type of cation, curing time and pH of calcium chloride solution.

넙치는 단기간 NaOCl에 대한 노출에 대해 2ppm이하에서는 육안적으로 관찰시 심각한 이상증상이 관찰되지 않았으며, 조피볼락에서는 2.5ppm까지 급성적으로 안전하였다. 넙치와 조피볼락에서의 1시간 LC$_{50}$은 각각 3.24ppm 및 7.58ppm이었다. 조피볼락을 NaOCl로 1시간 노출시키고 혈액학적 및 혈장생화학적 변수를 측정하였을 때 2ppm이상의 농도에서 glucose의 농도가 현저히 상승한 부분을 제외하고는 생화학적 변수에도 이상이 발견되지는 않았다. Glucose는 거의 모든 종류의 stress에 의해서 신속히 증가하는 변수로서 이 시험에서 발견된 증가현상도 NaOCl이 가진 냄새 또는 화학적 자극성에 의한 stress의 결과로 나타난 것으로 추정된다.

Purpose: This study compared the effect of two oral care agents on preventing stomatitis and discomfort for acute leukemic patients. Methods: A total of forty patients was enrolled and randomly assigned to sodium bicarbonate or chlorhexidine group. WHO oral toxicity scale was used for measuring stomatitis and Beck's subjective oral discomfort scale for evaluating oral comfort. Data was collected from August 2009 to February 2010. The data was analyzed using Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and Mann-Whitney test. Results: Data analyzed was thirty five one. The incidence of stomatitis was 47.4%, 68.8% in sodium bicarbonate and chlohexidine group respectively. The onset of stomatitis was about the 10th and 9th day after chemotherapy initiation, and the duration was 8.0 and 8.67 day respectively. The severity of stomatitis was highest on the 21st day after chemotherapy initiation. There were no statistical differences in the status of stomatitis and the levels of oral comfort during treatment periods. Conclusion: Nurses should routinely assess oral cavity and encourage patients to do oral care actively from second to third week after chemotherapy initiation. Also sodium bicarbonate agent can be recommended to for preventing stomatitis.

Bifidobcterium spp. can provide human being with several beneficial physiological. Therefor, there has been a considerable interest in products Bifidobcterium spp. dietary supplements or as starter cultures for probiotic products that may assint in the improvement of health on the human. But indusrial applications have been limited because Bifidobcterium spp. are sensitive to acidic pH due to organic acid produced by themselves and various conditions. The objective of this study was to establish new method for improvement of Bifidobcterium viability by entrapment im calcium alginate beads. We have a plan to select the most suitable polymer through the comparison with acid tolerance oxygen tolerance and theological properties of polymer. Increase of the viable number of Bifidobcterium induced increasing acid tolerance and oxygen tolernce trough the development of entrapment technique. The 4%, 3030mm diameter) sodium alginate beads led to the best survivability under acid condition. Especially, addition of 6% mannitol, 6% glycerol or 6% sorbitol to the sodium alginate helped a beneficial effect on viability against acid, bile salt, hydrogen peroxide and cold strage. The number of viability of entrapeede cells by retreatment was 96 fold higher than non-entrapeed cells after 5 hours of storage under pH 3 acidic condition. These experimental data clearly demonstrate that a whole cell immobilization by entrapment in calcium alginate beads is an important survival mechanism enable to withstand environmental stresses as the acidic condition, hydrogen peroxide toxicity and frozen state.
